Seems like he generally does the encore, which consists of "Metal Gods," "Breaking the Law," and "Living After Midnight."

He played everything well but just looked so tired. It's honestly a little hard to picture him playing the stuff off Firepower, so I'm thinking either his condition has worsened somewhat in the last year or so or he had some help. I'm not sure which I'd rather be true. He's a champion for getting out there for us though.

Glenn is a living legend...but sometimes you need to know when to quit...

The album is pretty good, but without KK and Glenn I have no great interest to see them live.

'The album is pretty good, but without KK and Glenn I have no great interest to see them live.'



i feel the same way bro....but at the same time, these bands are disappearing and pretty soon we'll be left with breaking benjamin and stone sour

I mean, would you see Halford if they played all Priest songs? I would.

That was the second time I've been able to see Priest or Halford (first was the Redeemers tour from a nosebleed seat), so we'll agree to disagree.

I understand you perfectly Titan bro, and you're right, but what's the point of jamming Breaking the Law, Painkiller or The Green Manalishi if you look at the stage and the musicians (your childhood heroes) aren't there?

I think I saw all their tours (with Halford) since Painkiller, so it's probably enough...



However I would go if the guys played this album in full.



@Sevengill

Probably not man. It's like a cover band, you know what I mean?

That's the reason I didn't see Queen with Adam Lambert.

agreed with everything Notrap



Sevengill, if I only saw them once or twice, i'd agree with you......old asses like myself and notrap seen em 20+ times....like he said, our heroes are disappearing so it's a much different perspective

That venue was a shit show. They had two security guys working the front and people got hurt. I was repeatedly threatened by an unstable guy who was screaming between songs about how he was going to "break your ribs, you're fucking dead man" because the mosh pit pushed me into his spot. That shit needs to be noticed by someone working.

you could probably justify a contextual 5 for this as "absolute best-case scenario. wildly exceeded all expectations."

I'd buy that, anyway.

Spectre and Flamethrower have some of the most inane lyrics tbh and it kind of dulls them for me
